CNN: HLN asks us...

YOUR VIEWS
HLN is taking your calls and e-mails every weekday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
Today's topic: Should marijuana be legalized? A California legislator is making a push for it, claiming the drug would bring in about a billion dollars in tax revenues. Call 1-877-TELL-HLN (835-5456), e-mail or send us an iReport.

If you go there you can see the top stories of the day, and there's a video in the related section called "Could pot save the economy?". At the end of the video it shows the results of the text poll, 95.5% positive. But be ready to listen to some people giving their uninformed opinions over the phone. They talked to 3 people who were against it and 1 person who was for it, but overall it wasn't really too biased in either direction.
